Question

If you were inspecting tissue taken from a tumor biopsy, what characteristics would you look for that would indicate the presence of cancer cells? describe three distinct morphological differences you would expect to see between normal cells and cancer cells.

Answer 1

In case of normal cells, the nuclei is smaller than the size of nuclei in case of cancer cells. Another different lies in the shape of cells. In case of normal cells, the shape of the cells is somewhat symmetrical while in case of cancer cells, the shape of the cells is different. Another difference lies in the distance between the cells. In case of normal cells, there is a gap between the cells while in case of cancer cells, they are grouped together.
